ANDY Murray is to be the subject of a major BBC documentary to be aired just before Wimbledon.

The tennis star has allowed the cameras to follow him around as he prepares to become the first British player to win the title for 77 years.

As well as following his progress on court, the film is expected to provide an insight into his private life and how he relaxes away from tennis.

A BBC crew joined Murray during his recent training stint in Miami, Florida, where he owns an apartment and lives for part of the year.

His girlfriend Kim Sears was also present for the behind-the-scenes shoot and brought the couple’s beloved terrier dogs Maggie and Rusty to the city for the first time.

The world No 3 has been undergoing a tough training regime under the watchful eye of coach Ivan Lendl, as he prepares for the rest of the tennis season. US Open champion Murray, 25, confirmed details of the programme on his official website yesterday.

He said: “The BBC were also out with us in Miami doing some filming for a documentary that’s coming out just before Wimbledon, which is pretty exciting, but more about that nearer the time.”

The Scot told how he has also been using his time in Miami to relax by going to watch basketball games and ice hockey.

He said: “It was good being back in Miami after a short break at home in the UK. In between training sessions I managed to sneak in a few Miami Heat games, it’s great to see them doing so well.”

I expect we'll find out more about the documentary closer to when it airs-if they were filming in Miami,I'd imagine it's probably not even finished being made yet.

I hate that we have to wait such a while yet for it-it sounds like it's going to be really good!I'm really looking forward to it-I know there's been a few "specials" on Andy,but I think this one has the potential to be especially interesting because this time he's actually allowed the cameras to follow him,and given them access to him.

This is Andy as you’ve never seen him before; from an open-top bus in home town Dunblane to pilates in Miami, from ice baths in Monte Carlo to injury rehabilitation in Surrey with Kim and his dogs. With fashion shoots, charity and media work along the way, we get a glimpse into the life of a private man - a shy Scot who won a nation’s heart with his raw emotion at Wimbledon, and then their eternal admiration by winning the US Open to become Britain’s first male Grand Slam Champion in 76 years.

Dani, you absolute star!!!!! So excited for this.... The GQ article and the one in Red magazine have been so positive, I feel this insight into his life too will win Andy many supporters and rightly so..... *EXCITED*
